Voluntary Madness My Year Lost and Found in the Loony Bin by Norah Vincent
Takes a fearless view of mental health care - from the inside out. The author demonstrates the power of common sense and human connection: how much better a patient can feel when treated like a person and not a petri dish. She also analyses the sometimes damaging and occasionally transformative relationships between patients and their caregivers.
Norah Vincent's first book, SELF-MADE MAN (2006) was an international media sensation and a New York Times bestseller. Previously, Vincent wrote a nationally syndicated op-ed column for the Los Angeles Times. Her work has also appeared in the New York Times, New Republic, Village Voice, and the Washington Post. She lives in New York City.
